The automatic transformation from HTML to RTF is not 100%.

Here are the main RTF codes you can use to make your RTF-template look nice.

Line break (remember to hit the space key so the code is like \par_)
Code:
\par


Tab (also here remember the space at the end)
Code:
\tab


Bold
Code:
\b Some text\b0


Mailto
Code:
{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "mailto:((E-mail))\par
"}}{\fldrslt{\pard\cf1\ul mailto:((E-mail))\cf0\ulnone\v
}}}}

Rich text is hurting my brain! Every time I go back into my rich text signatures they have added extra spaces and/or line breaks...

As this article suggests, I can't actually add spaces at the end of each statement or the cockpit strips them off.

Any ideas of how to control rich text? Thanks in advance Smile

Better, but still bad... It seems to require at least one extra line break at the end or it breaks the code and puts one of those little squares at the end (that stop sign.exe from running)

It should display as shown below, but I can't get rid of the top line break or the bottom two line breaks...

If I go into the cockpit editor at all it often adds all sorts of stuff, sometimes there are 4 or 5 spaces in front of the last line.

One quick question; Why spend time on RTF (and TXT) for your standard signature if you use HTML?

Unless you use the same signature for replies ...

We only recommend generating RTF and TXT for reply signatures as they are used when replying these formats.

Code:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1030{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}}
{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sb100\sa100\cf1\f0\fs20 ((Display_name)) \line ((Title)) \line\line Metropolitan Hotel \line Old Park Lane \line London \line W1K 1LB \line\line Direct Tel: ((Telephone_Number)) \line Direct Fax: ((Fax_number)) \line E-mail: ((Email)) \line Website: metropolitan.como.bz \line\line PART OF THE COMO GROUP\cf0\f1\fs24  \par
\pard\cf1\f0\fs20
}


Does this work? (Used 'Generate from HTML' in Cockpit menu)

That displays as:
Code:

I remove the spaces at the front of the first line, the line breaks at the bottom, and corrected the font and size. However after saving the editted version, if I go out and back in again it has added line breaks all over the place, and unless I have a line break at the bottom, I get the invalid square character in my code.

Unfortuntely we do need rich text and plain text versions of the signatures for replying to people who use this format.

I have found a way to force the error... if you open the existing RTF signature, then save it, it automatically puts an extra line break at the top and the bottom. If you do this multiple times it will keep adding extra lines. I guess I should get my RTF file perfect then press save once, then never touch it again!

I am trying to recreate the problems you have, but I cannot ... I don't use 'code view' - only 'design view' - maybe that's the reason.

Also I cannot recreate this ... save and edited several times now - both in code view and design view ... Question
